Why yes, that is an R/C plane launching off a working, flying R/C Helicarrier. What a marvellous world we live in.
This incredible feat of R/C vehicle-stroke-comic-book madness comes from the fine folks at FliteTest, who have been working on their Helicarrier build for a while now – but judging by their latest youtube video, it certainly works a treat:
There’s even wee little Lego marvel heroes aboard it! How sweet.
It might be a while before Marvel get around to releasing a flying Helicarrier toy of their own, this is an acceptable – by which I mean completely amazing – substitute. You can see more behind the scenes footage and pictures of the complete Helicarrier build here.
